Actor and humanitarian Sonu Sood took to social media with a heavy heart to announce the passing of Avijot, an 8-year-old girl battling Nephrotic Syndrome, whose family had been displaced and devastated by the Punjab floods. Sharing a poignant message—"Will miss you Avijot, RIP Little angel. Don’t worry, will take care of your parents."—Sood once again reminded the world that his compassion runs deeper than headlines.
Avijot’s story was more than just another case of medical aid—it was a symbol of resilience, a child fighting illness while her family struggled to survive in the aftermath of natural disaster. Sood had been supporting her treatment, and now, in her tragic absence, he promises to care for the ones she left behind. It’s a heartbreaking but powerful continuation of his mission through the Sood Charity Foundation, which has, by latest reports, extended aid to over 1.8 million people, with 18.94 crore mobilized in donations between 2020 and 2021 alone.
While celebrity philanthropy often ends at the photo op, Sood's work has been consistently cited in journals and watchdog reports as a rare example of sustained, transparent aid.
In a time when attention spans are short and social issues trend like hashtags, Sonu Sood’s tribute to Avijot isn’t just a farewell—it’s a promise. A promise to stand by those who are left behind, when the lights dim and the headlines fade.
